CGIAR is a global research partnership for a food secure future

Key contact: Bruce Campbell, CCAFS Program Director, b.campbell@cgiar.org

Results:

Lessons Learned: Opportunities for the future:

Climate-smart villages: participatory testing grounds for integrated approaches to climate variability Decision-support tools: that allow policy makers to ask, and answer, difficult “what if” questions about trade-offs among food security, adaptation and mitigation

Climate services: partnering with national meteorological services to produce and deliver locally relevant climate data tailored to farmers’ needs

Gender: Example: Substantial empirical

research on adoption of mitigation technologies, access to institutions,

governance arrangements and social differentiation undertaken across

several participating Centers.

IDO1: Enhanced food security

IDO2: Benefits to women and marginalised groups

IDO3: Enhanced adaptive capacity to climate risks

IDO5: Reduced GHGs and forest conversion

Flagship 2: Climate –information services and

climate-informed saftey nets

Flagship 3: Low emissions development

Flagship 4: Policies and institutions for climate resilient food systems

Flagship 1: Climate –smart agricultural practices

IDO4: Policies supporting climate-resilient agriculture

Working with partners to collect the evidence, to change opinions and worldviews

Working with partners to understand what works

Working with partners to make it happen

$ 500 M = •≥ 20 million additional farmers, at least 50% women, have climate-smart practices •Adaptive capacity enhanced of ≥ 10 million farmers, at least 50% women, through advisories and safety nets •≥ 20% reduction of GHG emissions intensities while enhancing food security in ≥ 7 countries •≥ 25 countries increased investments in CSA by ≥ 50%

Before 2024

Research Proposition

Weather Index-Based Insurance (IWMI/IFPRI, India)

•CCAFS is helping to develop new insurance products where pay-outs are automatically triggered when weather events pass a pre-determined threshold •12 million farmers already insured

Microdosing (ICRISAT, Zimbabwe) •2013 study shows microdosing increases yields by 60-80%, increases food security and resilience, has a 30-35% adoption rate after training, and offers an internal rate of return on investment of > 40%

Commission on Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Change

•Report downloaded 30,000 times in 2012 •Report informed national legislation in Mexico & Kenya, was used to validate Bangladesh’s UNFCCC submission on agriculture

Example: CCAFS has trained 1700 women leaders in Bihar, India on the

gender aspects of climate change, agriculture & food security. Each will

go on to train 100 more women when they return home.

Research Capacity Building • Climate change impacts women and men differently

• Has greater impact on marginalised groups

• Women & men have differential access to climate

services

• Many Climate Smart technologies negatively impact

women’s labour

(1) Operational Challenges Climate change adaptation is all about building adaptive capacity and resilience – these concepts are extremely difficult to operationalise

(2) A controversial topic: Climate change remains a controversial, highly politicised subject – this limits the application of evidence-based implementation.
